Easily combine different tickets for the same journey
Soon, you will be able to combine different HSL tickets for the same public transport journey. The tickets do not need to be purchased in the same way.
For example, if you have a season ticket on your HSL card but no value to buy a single ticket for zones outside your season ticket, you can buy a single ticket in the HSL app or with contactless payment at a card reader and continue your journey.
Combining tickets will be possible from 2 June
From 2 June 2026, it will be possible to combine different HSL tickets for the same journey. The tickets do not need to be purchased in the same way.
Until now, combining tickets has not been possible. Passengers have had to buy a ticket covering the entire journey, or a zone extension ticket to their season ticket. Zone extension tickets will be removed from sale as part of this change.
How to combine tickets
In the HSL app
In the HSL app, you can combine all the tickets available in the app with each other.
For example, you can combine a season ticket with a multi-journey ticket, a single ticket with a season ticket, or a day ticket with a single ticket. You can also combine tickets purchased through other channels with tickets bought in the app, such as a single ticket purchased at a card reader.
On an HSL card
On an HSL card, you can combine a single ticket with your season ticket by selecting the zones in which you want to travel on the card reader. You can also buy a single ticket in the HSL app or with contactless payment at the card reader.
Select the zones you will be traveling in on the card reader. The reader will sell you the appropriate single ticket using the value on your HSL card.
With contactless payment
You can combine a single ticket purchased with contactless payment at a card reader with a ticket purchased in the HSL app, or with a single ticket or season ticket on an HSL card.
You can also combine a contactless single ticket with a paper day ticket or single ticket if you want to travel outside the zones included on those tickets.
Remember this
If you use two tickets for the same journey, buy the second ticket before the vehicle you are traveling on leaves the last stop or station within the zones covered by your first ticket.
Example: If you have an AB season ticket and want to travel to zone C, buy a ticket that includes zone C while the vehicle is still in zone B.
Please note that a card reader can only sell tickets for the zone in which it is located. For example, you cannot buy a CD single ticket at a card reader in zone AB.
